A studio at La Californie, Cannes 1960.

The interior of a prolific artist's studio at La Californie, Cannes, in 1960, is brimming with finished and in-progress works. In the foreground, two ink wash paintings from that year rest against a portfolio. The space is densely packed with stacked canvases, including a stylized family portrait, and sculptures such as ornate figures and a totem-like owl. Paint cans and brushes visible on the right attest to the working environment, a testament to immense artistic production in a distinctive modernist style.
